Let us know what time and what digit that was..... perhaps that might be interesting to someone in another state. We might find out it was hiding out and hitting in New Mexico. LOL Do you remember any other anomilies like this .....or things that performed way above the expected hit rates? P.S. If anyone else can tell us about their states recourds on hot and cold it might help. Maybe.... there are some common things going on at the same time.

I keep charts on overdues, pairs and numbers by position. Most of the money that I have won on the pick 3 has come from playing those odds. When a pair is overdue I sometimes play a progressive on that pair and I have won a bit playing this way. Don't discount a number because it is cold. Even the 999 will come in Texas one day(lol).......Joy

dragon, for the purpose of the discussion, I wasn't saying it would be fact that heads would come up 99 times after 99 tails. My point is interpreting what 50/50 is. Why is it 50/50 in the first place? Because there are only two possible outcomes.....heads or tails. For a coin to come up 99 tails in row is improbable unless the flip was manipulated. Would you buy a car that had a 50/50 chance of being a lemon? I'm sure you wouldn't, because your chance of getting a lemon are equal to you... [ More ]

Looks like I would have won, because after 50 tails I would have said Gee, tails are HOT today , and sure enough, I would have had another 49 wins. Double or nothing, starting with a dollar....But that leaves the question: What would I call after the 99th?I think I'd toss a coin for it

Your thoughts make a lot of sense because that's the way I look at the whole thing.Basically any strategy has a chance of producing winning numbers if quick-picks and lucky numbers (which require no input on the players part)can help you win so can software,systems and stratgies that involve using past draw history.

Just to throw in my 2 cents worth -I don't think balls that are in a lottery drawing that uses ping pong type balls have an equal chance of being drawn. For example, in Powerball, only the balls that are in the middle of the device at the time of the drawing have an equal chance of being chosen, and when they're shuffled I don't think they all make it to the middle at one time or another. The only way they'd have an equal chance of being drawn is if each ball laid flat on a surface and there w... [ More ]

So elmination has to be part of the equation no matter what method you choose because either way your eliminating numbers from your play by selecting numbers to play.Unless you include EVERY number in your selections then of course none are eliminated but since that's not a good idea due to the large amount of combo's and difficulty of getting the correct combo on one line you have no choice but to select and eliminate.

Pick-4_Master — Sun, 04 Apr 2004 16:23:59 GMT

If your on a limited budget then Predicting would be your method of choice if not then trapping would do.Trapping numbers automatically includes elimination because what ever numbers you select the others are eliminated.So you have 2 methods of selecting numbers Predicting and Trapping what ever your gambling budget allows determines the method you use.

Pick-4_Master — Sun, 04 Apr 2004 16:20:50 GMT

Yes Trapping can be more expensive but it increases your chances A GREAT deal more than PREDICTING plus from my experiments ELIMINATING is an asset to number selection.I know everyone says Every number has the same chance of being drawn but in reality it doesn't work that way because of the fact that every number won't be drawn only 6 so there's a reason the rest don't come up.If your game was a 49/49 then that would definitely apply but only 6/49 games exist therefore analysis of number...

There is no such thing as overdue numbers. There are numbers that haven't come up in a while, and there is no guarantee that they will come up soon. Some people like to think there is some unwritten law that number have to be treated equally and therefore they have to be picked equally. Look at any lottery data file with any history and you will find numbers that have come up twice as much as others and some combinations that have repeated before other have occurred. Hot numbers hit more oft... [ More ]

I don't pay attention to that stuff.Each drawing is independent of the previous drawings. People for some reason don't want to believe that, but it's true.If you compare the occurance of lottery numbers with their average and their standard deviation, you will see that it is very rare for a number to be more than two standard deviations from the mean. This is indicative of a truly randomized system.

I've been playing lotteries forever and I've never been able to adequately define hot, cold, and due!!! As an alternative, I use due because any number is due to come up in the next drawing.To aid my selection of numbers, I maintain a 'due' list of all numbers combined in one sequence. I also maintain 'due' lists for each number series 'by position' As an aid, I use 'A' to represent all numbers between 1 and 9, B for 10-19, C for 20-29 and D for 30-37.I have a number of charts that assist in...

Numbers that are due since the last 50 draws, 100 draws, 150, draws...etc. will change. I try to look at as many combonations as I have time for. I could filter forever on next weeks draw. I wish I had a program that did all of the type of filtering that I like and all in one click.But after so much filtering and over anylising draw history, I feel like im in the matrix looking for the anomoly.

My two cents...I understand the theory and reasoning behind playing cold or due numbers but in my experience it seems that the hotter numbers come in more often. We've all been burned on playing due numbers that don't come in. I remember last year in the FL Pick 3 the digit 1 did not come in for a month in any position. It was 10 times overdue before it came in. Common theory is that 3 times overdue is the time to start betting, so that would have been a lot of wasted money on the digit 1.I... [ More ]

Talking Pick-6, there is usually a number that is really dead for something like 50 draws and another that's out about 30 that takes over when the really dead one finally gets drawn. These numbers are best not played until they show some life. Then there are the numbers that are resting after a good smattering of hits, these can revive at any time and are worth having in the mix as due not to be confused with cold which haven't been drawn for x number of drawings (depending on game size) from...

I had a good streak at the start of the year playing the megaballs that didnt hit in 2003, I'm still waiting for 2 to hit, before I move on to other cold megaballs. I usually wait till they are way overdue before I look at them. The number 2 has been sitiing out since june of 2002. Thats more than three turns of all megaballs. I think it was 116 draws before all the megaballs came out. This is getting close to 160 draws. Time for the coin to flip heads.

I play cold numbers because you cant flip a coin a 100 times on tails. I also play cold numbers because planets are round instead of square. I know a lot of folks say that past number data means nothing. But if that is so, then we would have square planets, or whatever other shape. I dont play hot numbers for all of the same reasons. I would rather play most cold numbers and a few from the middle ground. Of course taking into consideration a lot of other factors. I know what physics claim and
